Emiliano Buendia and Josip Drmic did not have their best afternoon in the Premier League match versus Burnley. The Norwich City players saw red after an elbow and a high challenge in the 35th and 45th minutes of the contest. The Canaries have already been relegated.

Norwich were playing in their penultimate Premier League game of the season this Saturday. They will not play again in the league until at least 2021 after Daniel Farke's men were relegated several days back. 

The Norwich players' frustration was clear to see during the contest against Burnley when Emiliano Buendia and Josip Drmic saw red cards in the first half. 

Buendia was sent off after 35 minutes for elbowing Westwood in the face after a coming together. The VAR spotted the elbow and referee Kevin Friend dismissed the Argentine after a VAR review. 

Things got worse for Norwich when Drmic saw a straight red card after a dangerous two footed challenge on Pieters. Then, Chris Wood's overhead kick in the 50th minute of the first half gave Burnley a one goal and two men advantage at the interval.
